While investigating claims of sightings of a ghostly nun at [[Lavender Lawns]], the local nursing home, Chrissie temporally moved in with Maria and Alan, but succeeded only in causing further problems in the family. Back at Lavender Lawns, an [[Bea Nelson-Stanley|old lady]] gave Luke an ancient [[Talisman|talisman]], the key to a portal in space and time. They found that a group of nuns were hiding an age-old creature, a [[Gorgon]]. When Sarah Jane refused to give the talisman to the nuns, they kidnapped Luke and Clyde and took the Gorgon and Maria to Sarah Jane's house where the Gorgon turned her father into stone. Having got what they came for, the nuns and the Gorgon left. Luke and Clyde escaped from their entrapment via a secret passage. Mr Smith told Maria and Sarah that Alan was retrievable until 16:00. Luke and Clyde saw the Gorgon stumble, but were unable to prevent the talisman beginning the process of joining the Gorgon Homeworld with Earth. The Gorgon - a parasite inside the Abbess - chose Sarah Jane as its next host. Chatting with Bea revealed that the talisman could revert those turned to stone. Clyde distracted the nuns long enough so Luke could grab the talisman, disconnecting the portal. However, Sarah Jane and the boys were recaptured and locked in another room, though Sarah Jane was soon taken and tied next to the portal. Luke and Clyde escaped again and joined Sarah Jane just as the Gorgon began to transfer itself, but Maria arrived and used a [[Mirror|mirror]] to revert the transfer and turn the Gorgon - and Abbess - to stone, freeing the nuns of mind-control. Maria disconnected the talisman and the portal shut down forever. The talisman brought her father back to flesh-and-blood and Chrissie left, reuniting with [[Ivan]].([[SJA]]: ''[[Eye of the Gorgon]]'') | |||

One day Sarah Jane | One day Sarah Jane and Alan had picked up Maria, Luke and Clyde and stopped off in a park where Clyde practised his skateboarding. Alan, disapointed at what he saw, attempted to teach Clyde, by showing off his own skills. Maria, desperate to get her dad away from the skate park took several photos of everyone. When taking one of Sarah Jane something odd happened. Back in Sarah's attic, Sarah Jane told Maria, Luke and Clyde about a meteorite on course with Earth, but reassured them that Mr Smith would be able to deflect it away the following day. After telling Luke to go make some tea Sarah Jane told Maria she is the one person she trusted best and gave her an alien puzzle box that was given to her by a [[Verron]] [[Verron soothsayer|Soothsayer]] who they helped fly home the previous week, who told her to give it to the person she trusted the most and just to 'remember'. She attempted to open it that night in bed, but after becoming disappointed that she is barely getting anywhere she fell asleep holding it, as a [[The Trickster|mysterious cloaked figure]] approacheed Sarah Jane's house. He held out a hand and the lights in Sarah's house went out and her car disappeared. Meanwhile the puzzle block glowed blue in Maria's hand. The next day, after telling her dad if she was going to Sarah Jane's and realising her dad didn't not know (or at least could not remember) anybody named Sarah Jane Maria began to get worried. She crossed the road and found a [[Andrea Yates|strange woman]] in Sarah's house who apparently knew her. | ||

A woman named Andrea Yates lived in Sarah Jane's house as if she always did. Maria searched her contacts and found Sarah Jane, Luke and Clydes' numbers had all vanished. She warned everybody about the impending meteor, but no one would listen, Clyde didn't even know her very well. After claiming to her dad she lied about a woman called Sarah Jane she decided to go investigating. She found a newspaper article from 1964[[File:SJA107-0002.jpg|thumb|left|Maria in1964]] stating that a thirteen-year-old Sarah Jane Smith drowned after falling from a pier, where she was playing with her friend, Andrea Yates. As Maria watched, the names of the deceased and the survivor switch, though a bemused Alan claimed he saw nothing. When Maria confronted Andrea, she became very angry, shouting at her. "I'm gonna work out how time got changed, I'm gonna find Sarah Jane, and NOTHING is gonna stop me!!!" Andrea threw her out and the panic stricken woman rushed to her attic and found a second puzzle box. | ||
The cloaked figure | The cloaked figure appeared and reminded Andrea of himself and what she agreed. She couldn't bear her memory and begged him to help her. He offered to make Maria disappear. Andrea dreaded the thought of knowing she would have erased Maria, but the figure promised she would forget, as the whole World would. After Andrea accepted, he dispatched a [[Graske]], who chased Maria who then dropped the puzzle box. Maria came to a dead end under a tunnel, and despite her attempt to dodge the gun, the Graske shoots a clip attached to a cord at Maria, and the clip catches on to her breast pocket. The [[Krislok|Graske]] teleported Maria away just after Alan picked up the first box. When Chrissie came round he discovered his ex-wife couldn't remember their daughter. Meanwhile Maria escaped from the Graske and found herself on a beach promenade near two girls. She grabbed a newspaper and saw the date, knowing July 13th 1964 to be the day of the accident. When Maria asked the two girls where she is, they introduced themselves as Andrea Yates and Sarah Jane Smith. Maria got captured by the Graske again and she was sent to [[Limbo]] where she met Sarah Jane again happy to see each other. Sarah Jane told her what the alien was and Maria told her what kind of person Andera was. Meanwhile Alan captured the Graske and got Maria back and together they stopped the Trickster and everyone was back to stop the meteorite. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?]]'') | ||

They watched the night sky as they looked forward to many more discoveries. At a radio telescope used by the [[Tycho Project]]'s search for alien life, in rural [[Goblin's Copse]], [[Lucy Skinner]] and her astronomer dad, Professor [[Nicholas Skinner]], were observing the night sky when they spotted strange [[Sontaran drone|lights]] floating about. Professor Skinner investigated, but went missing. Lucy investigated, and was promptly captured herself. The following day, Luke and Clyde played a strategy game using Mr Smith, in order to learn about battle strategies. Sarah Jane interrupted as she had heard reports of the strange lights the previous night. Despite Mr Smith's assurances that strange lights rarely herald alien activity, decided to pursue the story. While Maria and her Dad discuss the large change that was about to happen in their lives, and Alan told Maria that the decision was not just his to make. Sarah Jane, Clyde, Luke and Maria headed to the countryside to investigate. They arrive at Goblin's Copse, and discussed the size of space, while being watched by [[Kaagh|something]]. Inside, the team found Lucy, who told them that her dad was still missing. Luke and Clyde looked outside for the Professor, after being warned to stay away from the woods. As the boys began to search the woods, the creature watching them became invisible. While Lucy slept, Sarah Jane managed to learn the truth from Maria. Alan had been offered a job in America, at the head office of his firm. Maria was ambivalent about the news; happy for her dad, but sad that she had to leave her friends behind. At his house, Alan discussesd the job with Chrissie and about how it would change Maria's life more than his. | ||

Luke | Luke called Sarah Jane, and when she and Maria arrived, he and Clyde showed them the object. When the cloaking field was disabled and Sarah Jane immediately recognised the [[Sontaran pod|ship]] as [[Sontaran]]. Its Sontaran occupant, Commander Kaagh appeared behind them, armed. When Maria tricked Kaagh, the group managed to escape, splitting up, with Kaagh chasing them. Sarah Jane and Clyde attempted to reason with Professor Skinner. They discovered that he was under mind control by Kaagh. Outside the Observatory, Luke and Maria crawled into a vent that pierces into the building. Maria and Luke watched from the vent, while Kaagh and Sarah Jane talked. He revealed he was badly wounded when [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] defeated the Sontaran [[Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet|army]]. The only survivor of the [[Sontaran invasion of Earth|botched invasion of Earth]], he vowed revenge on Earth for his peoples' humiliation. He revealed his plan to use the Tycho radio telescope to take control of Earth's satellites, and steer them to crash into nuclear stockpiles on Earth, triggering nuclear annihilation. Clyde protested, so Kaagh announced he would experiment on him. Sarah Jane stepped in front of Clyde, denying Kaagh, who pulled out his [[Sontaran blaster|gun]] and shot Sarah Jane, who sprawled, unconscious, on the floor. He then boasted to Clyde that she would be taken to [[Sontar]] as a prize, and he would be hailed as a hero instead of a laughingstock and perhaps even given a more honourable epithet, such as "Kaagh the Avenger". Luke and Maria were hidden in a nearby vent, watching the scene unfold. They catched Clyde's attention and motion for him to join them. Luke, Maria, and Clyde provoked Kaagh into chasing them through the observatory's corridors and service tunnels; the teens escaped into the forest and blocked Kaagh from getting out. They ran to Kaagh's shuttle, Maria decided to tell Luke about America and Luke felt really upset because she had always been there for him from the very star but she said ''none that matters if we don't stop Kaagh '' he continued with the alien chemicals stored inside to synthesise a knockout gas that would incapacitate Kaagh. But then Luke set off the intruder alarm, and knowing that it will bring Kaagh, Clyde set off to distract him.[[File:SJA202-0384.jpg|left|thumb|Maria telling Luke about America]] | ||

Six weeks later, Maria came up to the attic to say goodbye to Mr.Smith and have one last look before she | Sarah Jane activated her new invention; just as she expected, Skinner soon appears to search for it. Sarah Jane and Lucy sneaked out, locking Skinner in the room, and tried to figure out a way to disarm the satellites. They let Clyde in through the same door Luke, Maria and Clyde escaped through earlier, just in time to save him from Kaagh, who they locked out. Kaagh entered through the the main door, breaked down the door to the room Skinner was locked in, and expressed his rage at him. Maria, not sure that Luke would be able to synthesise the gas in time, decided to ask Mr Smith for more information on defeating Sontarans. As Mr Smith was still in Ealing, she called her dad and asked him to contact the computer. Alan did so, unaware that he had been followed into Sarah Jane's attic by his ex-wife Chrissie. Chrissie demanded to know what was going on; Alan quickly brought her up to speed on Sarah Jane's alien hunting and Maria's role as her assistant. Chrissie realized he was telling the truth as his lip twitched when he was lying. Maria's parents, fearful for her safety, decided to join their daughter at Goblin's Copse. Sarah Jane, Maria, Clyde, Luke and Lucy all met up. Sarah Jane took Luke and Lucy with her to try and deactivate the transmitter, while Maria and Clyde gone and tried to find the switch that would move the transmitter away from the satellites. However Kaagh and Skinner got there first and capturd them. Luke tried to breaked into the observatory's main computers, eventually succeeding when he realised that Sontarans, who have three fingers on each hand, probably use base six mathematics. But Kaagh appeared and reveals that Lucy was a sleeper agent, activates the mind-control chip he had implanted in her, and instructed her to re-activate the transmitter. He threatened Maria's life if Sarah Jane tried to stop him. All appeared lost until Chrissie bursted into the observatory [[File:SJA202-0853.jpg|right|thumb|Sarah Jane saying Goodbye to Maria ]]and attacked Kaagh's [[Probic vent]] with her high-heeled shoe, incapacitating him more effectively than Luke's knockout gas was able to. The transmitter was de-activated, this time for good. Kaagh was escorted back to his ship and ordered to return to Sontar, which he was only too glad to do; he was humiliated that he was defeated by "half-forms" and a woman. Sarah Jane was relieved, even if she was not entirely convinced that Kaagh gone for good. Six weeks later, Maria came up to the attic to say goodbye to Mr. Smith and have one last look before she left and said her last goodbye to Sarah Jane and Sarah Jane apologied for her reaction when she told her about America because for the first time she found a family and so fast she was losing it and losing the daughter she always wanted Maria, she asked her if he would come visit her and she replied ''of course I will'' While getting in the taxi they said their goodbyes to Sarah Jane, Luke, and Clyde, as they left for their new life in America. As they gone away in the taxi, Chrissie whispered to Sarah Jane that she was not entirely ignorant of her daughter's alien-hunting hobby. | ||

Maria got captured by the Graske again and she was sent to Limbo where she met Sarah Jane again happy to see each other. Sarah Jane told her what the alien was and Maria told her what kind of person Andera was. Meanwhile Alan captured the Graske and got Maria back and together they stopped the Trickster and everyone was back to stop the meteorite. (SJA: Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?)
However, Alan stumbled in on the existence of Sarah Jane's activities Maria told him about her adventures and things she seen. He decided that they were moving away, concerned for his daughter, but Alan recanted and decided to stay in their old home when Maria convinced him that not all aliens were evil and Sarah Jane told her anything is possible and and the universe is amazing and she is very lucky and she doesn't want to let it go. She helpped defeat the Slitheen again and Mr. Smith who was trying to destroy the Earth when everything was safe they where looking up at the stars together (SJA: The Lost Boy) During the Dalek's relocation of Earth to the Medusa Cascade, Maria was staying in Cornwall with her father. Luke called her to check on her. (DW: The Stolen Earth)
Last Adventure
Sarah Jane and her where discussing the things and they did the creatures they seen together since Maria's arrival in Bannerman Road. They watched the night sky as they looked forward to many more discoveries. At a radio telescope used by the Tycho Project's search for alien life, in rural Goblin's Copse, Lucy Skinner and her astronomer dad, Professor Nicholas Skinner, were observing the night sky when they spotted strange lights floating about. Professor Skinner investigated, but went missing. Lucy investigated, and was promptly captured herself. The following day, Luke and Clyde played a strategy game using Mr Smith, in order to learn about battle strategies. Sarah Jane interrupted as she had heard reports of the strange lights the previous night. Despite Mr Smith's assurances that strange lights rarely herald alien activity, decided to pursue the story. While Maria and her Dad discuss the large change that was about to happen in their lives, and Alan told Maria that the decision was not just his to make. Sarah Jane, Clyde, Luke and Maria headed to the countryside to investigate. They arrive at Goblin's Copse, and discussed the size of space, while being watched by something. Inside, the team found Lucy, who told them that her dad was still missing. Luke and Clyde looked outside for the Professor, after being warned to stay away from the woods. As the boys began to search the woods, the creature watching them became invisible. While Lucy slept, Sarah Jane managed to learn the truth from Maria. Alan had been offered a job in America, at the head office of his firm. Maria was ambivalent about the news; happy for her dad, but sad that she had to leave her friends behind. At his house, Alan discussesd the job with Chrissie and about how it would change Maria's life more than his.
When Lucy waked up, Sarah Jane persuaded her to recall the events of the previous night. Professor Skinner appeard, though he seemed strangely detached and unemotional. He ordered Sarah Jane and Maria to leave immediately, which they do. Lucy made him some coffee and he approached her strangely. Luke called Sarah Jane, and when she and Maria arrived, he and Clyde showed them the object. When the cloaking field was disabled and Sarah Jane immediately recognised the ship as Sontaran. Its Sontaran occupant, Commander Kaagh appeared behind them, armed. When Maria tricked Kaagh, the group managed to escape, splitting up, with Kaagh chasing them. Sarah Jane and Clyde attempted to reason with Professor Skinner. They discovered that he was under mind control by Kaagh. Outside the Observatory, Luke and Maria crawled into a vent that pierces into the building. Maria and Luke watched from the vent, while Kaagh and Sarah Jane talked. He revealed he was badly wounded when the Doctor defeated the Sontaran army. The only survivor of the botched invasion of Earth, he vowed revenge on Earth for his peoples' humiliation. He revealed his plan to use the Tycho radio telescope to take control of Earth's satellites, and steer them to crash into nuclear stockpiles on Earth, triggering nuclear annihilation. Clyde protested, so Kaagh announced he would experiment on him. Sarah Jane stepped in front of Clyde, denying Kaagh, who pulled out his gun and shot Sarah Jane, who sprawled, unconscious, on the floor. He then boasted to Clyde that she would be taken to Sontar as a prize, and he would be hailed as a hero instead of a laughingstock and perhaps even given a more honourable epithet, such as "Kaagh the Avenger". Luke and Maria were hidden in a nearby vent, watching the scene unfold. They catched Clyde's attention and motion for him to join them. Luke, Maria, and Clyde provoked Kaagh into chasing them through the observatory's corridors and service tunnels; the teens escaped into the forest and blocked Kaagh from getting out. They ran to Kaagh's shuttle, Maria decided to tell Luke about America and Luke felt really upset because she had always been there for him from the very star but she said none that matters if we don't stop Kaagh he continued with the alien chemicals stored inside to synthesise a knockout gas that would incapacitate Kaagh. But then Luke set off the intruder alarm, and knowing that it will bring Kaagh, Clyde set off to distract him.
Sarah Jane activated her new invention; just as she expected, Skinner soon appears to search for it. Sarah Jane and Lucy sneaked out, locking Skinner in the room, and tried to figure out a way to disarm the satellites. They let Clyde in through the same door Luke, Maria and Clyde escaped through earlier, just in time to save him from Kaagh, who they locked out. Kaagh entered through the the main door, breaked down the door to the room Skinner was locked in, and expressed his rage at him. Maria, not sure that Luke would be able to synthesise the gas in time, decided to ask Mr Smith for more information on defeating Sontarans. As Mr Smith was still in Ealing, she called her dad and asked him to contact the computer. Alan did so, unaware that he had been followed into Sarah Jane's attic by his ex-wife Chrissie. Chrissie demanded to know what was going on; Alan quickly brought her up to speed on Sarah Jane's alien hunting and Maria's role as her assistant. Chrissie realized he was telling the truth as his lip twitched when he was lying. Maria's parents, fearful for her safety, decided to join their daughter at Goblin's Copse. Sarah Jane, Maria, Clyde, Luke and Lucy all met up. Sarah Jane took Luke and Lucy with her to try and deactivate the transmitter, while Maria and Clyde gone and tried to find the switch that would move the transmitter away from the satellites. However Kaagh and Skinner got there first and capturd them. Luke tried to breaked into the observatory's main computers, eventually succeeding when he realised that Sontarans, who have three fingers on each hand, probably use base six mathematics. But Kaagh appeared and reveals that Lucy was a sleeper agent, activates the mind-control chip he had implanted in her, and instructed her to re-activate the transmitter. He threatened Maria's life if Sarah Jane tried to stop him. All appeared lost until Chrissie bursted into the observatory
and attacked Kaagh's Probic vent with her high-heeled shoe, incapacitating him more effectively than Luke's knockout gas was able to. The transmitter was de-activated, this time for good. Kaagh was escorted back to his ship and ordered to return to Sontar, which he was only too glad to do; he was humiliated that he was defeated by "half-forms" and a woman. Sarah Jane was relieved, even if she was not entirely convinced that Kaagh gone for good. Six weeks later, Maria came up to the attic to say goodbye to Mr. Smith and have one last look before she left and said her last goodbye to Sarah Jane and Sarah Jane apologied for her reaction when she told her about America because for the first time she found a family and so fast she was losing it and losing the daughter she always wanted Maria, she asked her if he would come visit her and she replied of course I will While getting in the taxi they said their goodbyes to Sarah Jane, Luke, and Clyde, as they left for their new life in America. As they gone away in the taxi, Chrissie whispered to Sarah Jane that she was not entirely ignorant of her daughter's alien-hunting hobby.

One morning, Maria's computer was making a noise. Alan woke Maria up and told her the computer wouldn't stop bleeping. When she answered it, it was Luke, who needed her help. Rani Chandra met Maria for the first time, and they quickly discussed how she was dealing with all the aliens and stuff. Both agreed that it is amazing. To help Luke and Rani, Maria and her Father hacked into the UNIT Archives to find information on the Berserker amulet and what it did. Alan discovered a way to track Cylde down, and Rani thanked Maria and Alan for their help. leaving to find Cylde. (SJA: The Mark of the Berserker)

Maria had a patient, tolerant, and inquisitive personality. The divorce of her parents made her somewhat moody, and she was much less worldly-wise and trendy than Clyde though she was also braver and more sensitive.
